Overview

This program is a research-based Master's in Territorial Planning and Regional Development (M.ATDR), unique in Quebec, offering multidisciplinary training across the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and professional fields on issues linked to spatial organization and regional development. The 45-credit program recognizes up to 7 credits of prior learning and can be completed in approximately two years (about five sessions) of full-time study, with courses offered during the day and, for some, in the evening, and international mobility options available. Applicants must secure a professor willing to supervise their research before admission. Admission is offered in the Fall and Winter terms.
